http://ift.tt/1GW5dMK I stayed one night at the Novotel, Sheffield in March, 2015. It was a Saturday night, I booked a double room for two people with Booking.com for £79.00 (room only). The advertised breakfast price on Booking.com was £13.95, which we were not prepared to pay, however, upon check-in breakfast was offered at £9.95 - if booked before midnight. We decided to go with that option. If you are using Booking.com to book a room here, go for the room only option, and pay for breakfast upon arrival. The hotel is very well situated in Sheffield city centre, a 5-7 minute uphill walk from Sheffield railway station. You can enter from the Station side via the lower ground floor, or from the Winter Gardens side on the upper ground floor. If entering on the lower ground floor there are both stairs and a lift for getting upstairs. Note on the lower ground floor there is also a fitness suite and swimming pool - it is a very small pool, and the changing rooms are tiny, so it's probably better to get changed in your room. You need to get a keycard from reception to unlock the doors to the fitness area and swimming pool. Reception is large, colourful and bright, and the reception staff were all friendly and helpful. We were told upon check-in that an event was taking place and that there may be 'some noise' until midnight. They weren't wrong, it was boom boom boom until just after midnight. We didn't let it bother us, but I can imagine it would be an annoyance to many people. I asked for a room with a view on a high floor, however my view was of student flats next door, not a nice view at all, and I was really disappointed by this. I specifically requested a good view on Booking.com (hoping for a view over the valley), but I didn't bother complaining this time, as we were heading straight out after check-in. The room was the usual high standard that Novotel offer, no complaints really, other than the ironing board and iron taking up 50% of the wardrobe, and their being no small hand washing sink in the toilet room (I find this unhygienic). We did enjoy our stay here, and I would stay again, but I would insist on a room with a better view. To see a film that I have previously made of Sheffield, click here: http://ift.tt/1EviCeN .

http://ift.tt/1GW5dfT The Hohenzollern Bridge (German: Hohenzollernbrücke) is a bridge crossing the river Rhine in the German city of Cologne (German Köln). It crosses the Rhine at kilometre 688.5. Originally, the bridge was both a railway and street bridge, however, after its destruction in 1945 and its subsequent reconstruction, it was only accessible to rail and pedestrian traffic. It is the most heavily used railway bridge in Germany, connecting the Köln Hauptbahnhof and Köln Messe/Deutz stations. This film features views from an ICE Train as it leaves Cologne Hauptbahnhof, and crosses the Hohenzollern Bridge, heading towards Cologne Messe Deutz.

http://ift.tt/1Eni5Jm I was working in Liège, Belgium in March, 2015 and needed accommodation close to the main railway station - Liège-Guillemins, the Hotel Husa de la Couronne fit the bill perfectly. It is located straight over the road from the station, literally a 30 second walk. I stayed for two nights at the hotel for 79 Euro per night, bed and breakfast. The room was comfortable, the bed was very soft with a luxurious foam mattress, I slept comfortably. The breakfast consisted of mostly continental options, with some freshly cooked hot options also. It was tasty, especially the potato, cheese and onion flan. The hotel staff were all very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my stay at this hotel and would absolutely stay here again.

http://ift.tt/1Lkr1bs On the 29th January, 2015, Northern England was hit by rolling severe snow storms. On the afternoon of this day these hit Cookridge, North West Leeds with quite dramatic results. The storm only lasted 30 minutes, but during this time visibility was low and Leeds Bradford Airport was closed to incoming aircraft. After the storm had passed, the sun came out and the sky was blue with white fluffy clouds, illuminating the white and bright landscape. This film features views of Cookridge both during the storm, and in it's sunny and white aftermath. To read more about Cookridge, click here: http://ift.tt/1wL4U0m .
